If you can research a route Wandsworth to Petesfield (probably via Guildford - not the A3) i can help you with the remainder of the route. or you can check out the sustrans website. Good luck Buster |

As for the New Forrest Dont USE A 35 alllthe way into Christchurchits to busy and cars travel way to fast also a lot commercial vehicles use it.(ex trucker speaking here) I cant post you the route as I know only from memorary when riding that way. But look at google maps. |
